On January 14, long Jianhua and pan Wenhua drove to the north of Hunan Province to deliver goods. When they got on the bus, pan Wenhua was excited. This time, they had to go through the lake to catch wild ducks.

    Long Jianhua shook his head. "Brother Wenhua, it''s the main place to produce rice. I''ll buy rice first this time."

    Pan Wenhua turned to look at him, "don''t tell me that your family has finished so much rice. Each of you has your own quota, and I bought no less than 100 Jin for your family. "

    Long Jianhua smiled bitterly, "brother Jianhua, I have to eat half a catty of rice per meal. How much do you calculate per month? Besides, the rice you bought is two months. If you share it, it will be halved. Of course, there are still miscellaneous grains. There are a lot of corn and dry sweet potato rice, but there is rice to eat. Who still eats that? "

    Pan Wenhua was discouraged and said stuffy, "well, our main purpose this time is rice."

    Instead, he said excitedly, "you say we don''t have enough food in such a big place and so much land?"

    Long Jianhua had a hard time responding. He thought for a moment and said, "if all the rice in the country were hybrid rice, it would basically double. At that time, there would be no such shortage of food. If so, we can see the harvest of the ninth team this year. "

    Pan Wenhua immediately asked, "then produce more hybrid rice seeds."

    Long Jianhua''s heart stagnated. Seed production does not mean that you can produce as many seeds as you want. It takes time.

    In this situation, everyone''s enthusiasm is not high; If you are not very short of money, it is estimated that digging herbs will be delayed.

    If we want to really solve the problem of eating, we need to wait until after all production quotas have been assigned to households in 1983. At that time, people''s enthusiasm was high, hybrid rice seeds could be fully supplied, and there were many varieties and sufficient amounts of fertilizer.

    He said with a smile, "rice can only be eaten one mouthful at a time. This seed has just been studied for two years. People are exploring experience. Do you think it''s easy to stay in Haiqiong area every day and study three crops of rice a year? Such a big country can''t stride too fast, or it will hurt the egg. "

    After unloading the goods at their destination, they drove out and went straight into a village in the suburbs.

    As soon as I entered the village, I saw a farmer come out and wave to the vehicle.

    Pan Wenhua said with a smile, "well, it will save a lot of time."

    As an old sports car outside, he knows what this means.

    The man waved to show that he had something to sell at home.

    Long Jianhua drove near his house. Pan Wenhua pushed open the door and asked, "brother, what do you have here? How to sell it? "

    The man walked to the car with a cigarette stick. "There are more things this season. What do you want to buy? "

    Long Jianhua turned to look at him, "rice and meat can carry other good things."

    The man took two puffs of smoke. "There is no pork, but there are beef, rabbits, wild ducks and fish, as well as rice."

    Long Jianhua smiled.

    Ho ho, there are still a lot of things.

    Pan Wenhua shook his head. "I won''t buy rabbits and wild ducks. There are more at home. How big is the fish? Is it more than ten kilograms? Hands free for those under 10 jin. "

    In the middle of this period of time, he asked two fishing experts in his unit how to make bait, found raw materials and made it at home, and then walked around the river with long Jianhua.

    A total of five shots have been made. Except that the first time only gained about ten kilograms, the other four times were all about 100 kilograms, all of which were three or four kilograms of carp or grass carp.

    However, they were frozen to death. Some people saw them standing in the river fishing and said they "don''t want to eat".

    Long Jianhua told him that if you eat fish, you have to eat more than eight kilograms and less than 20 kilograms. All parts are delicious.

    It seems that he has remembered this sentence.

    Long Jianhua got off the bus. "If you want to buy rice anyway, go and have a look."

    When he came to his house, he put forward a large piece of fresh beef from the inner room, about 20 jin, at a price of 50 cents; Then he opened a wooden cabinet next to him. There were more than 100 kilograms of rice in it. The price was 18 cents.

    Pan Wenhua muttered, "people are fifteen cents. If you want eighteen cents, it''s too expensive."

    Long Jianhua asked, "what about the fish? What kind of fish is it? How old? "

    The man said with a smile, "a catfish, live. It was only more than six pounds, but it didn''t reach ten pounds, so I didn''t take it out. You can go in and have a look. "

    Long Jianhua went to the inner room and saw a two foot long, lively catfish chirping in a large wooden basin. With a finger poke, it tossed a tail of water.

    There is also a large wooden basin next to it, in which there are six silver carp and three grass carp, all weighing three or four kilograms.

    He is not interested in silver carp and grass carp, but only catfish; Catfish has few spines and is a carnivorous fish. It tastes good.

    He turned and walked out of the inner room. Just as he wanted to talk, he saw three more people in the room, an old comrade in his sixties and two young people, all looking very serious.

    At this time, pan Wenhua also looked nervous, and the man stood there like earth.

    Seeing long Jianhua coming out, pan Wenhua gave him a timid look and said carefully, "this comrade said we were wrong."

    Long Jianhua looked at the three, took out a maroon work permit from his pocket, and then quickly opened it.

    He had closed it as they squinted.

    "Comrade, who do you say is speculating?"

    The three of them were also confused. They didn''t see clearly. They closed so soon. But this is an authentic work permit. Can''t I see it again?

    He said very carefully at once, "comrade, I just doubt it. This Mo Daonan, I have been staring at him for a long time. "

    Long Jianhua came to the front of the three, pulled a small stool and sat down. He said faintly, "comrade, your theoretical level needs to be improved. It''s impossible to do work like this. How could it be wrong for Comrade Mo Daonan to sell his superfluous things? Let''s buy something to eat at home. Why can''t we? "

    "Several measures were clearly pointed out in the instructions in February 1972: the first is..."

    "You may think that Comrade Mo Daonan is engaged in commercial activities, but in fact he is not. He just sells what he can''t eat at home and doesn''t buy anything and set up stalls in the street. This is allowed. As for saying that we can''t do it, you are very wrong. We bought it back for our own food. There will be no more business. Why don''t you go and have a look with us? "

    The three were confused, and pan Wenhua and Mo Daonan were even more confused.

    They didn''t expect long Jianhua to speak one by one, as if it was quite well grounded.

    Obviously, the old comrade and the two people he brought were first startled by the work permit, and then restrained by several measures he recited; After sitting awkwardly for a few minutes, he mumbled a few words, and then quickly left Mo Daonan''s house.

    Long Jianhua also breathed a long sigh
